HOF vs AUG Dream11 Prediction: Hoffenheim entertain Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Monday night with the hosts looking to overtake their opponents in the table with a victory. Hoffenheim are the only team to beat Bayern Munich in 2020 but since then their form has slumped and they have gone seven league games without a win. Perhaps the extra burden of playing in the Europa League is affecting them, and injuries and suspension mean that coach Sebastian Hoeness is limited in how much he can rotate for this one. Meanwhile, 12 points from nine games is Augsburg’s best ever return at this stage of a Bundesliga campaign, and they have only lost one of their last six away league games going back to the end of last season. Let’s take a look at HOF vs AUG Dream11 Team prediction now.
